The rise of artificial intelligence is one of the most important developments of our time. We believe that its biggest impact will be felt in the field of natural language processing, enabling new ways of interaction between humans and machines. It will impact how we search for information, how we get creative about new content, and ultimately how we get things done.
As large language models are becoming more and more powerful, we further believe that the next step is to make them more data-centric. This gives developers and scientists the superpower to control and shape the models to their needs. And for this to happen, data must finally be the first-class citizen in the world of NLP.
We are a rather small team, focusing on how modern natural language processing can shift how we view and interact with data.
Our work is based on very simple principals. When we built software, we think of the endusers first, and how we can help them to not only get their work done, but to do it in a way that sparks their creativity and curiosity.
Also, we see our product as more than a user interface attached to some backend. We believe that the product starts with the client's problem, and so we will always try to understand the problem first, and then see how we can help to solve it.
On a hot summer day in 2022
Henrik and Johannes started Kern AI during their master's degree at Hasso Plattner Institute, where they worked on modern natural language processing research. After having started a consultancy together in early 2020, they decided to build Kern AI as the data-centric developer platform for natural language processing to help companies turn their unstructured text into value.
We are backed by leading investors in Europe.
